Unlike some reviewers, I found that this product fulfilled my expectations completely. The noise while the Cooper Cooler was operating did not seem any louder than the noise a microwave makes while running. While water and ice must be added to the cooler, the amount of ice recommended will actually cool several drinks. Far less ice is required than the manual recommends if you only want to cool one, two, even three or four drinks. Additionally, the tailgating model's adapter comes with an extra-long cord so that you're not forced to sit in the front seat of a car while using it, risking spilling water and ice all over the place. I bought this product as a gift for my brother, but have had ample experience using his, and will probably buy one for myself.

This is a great appliance. Haven't used for tailgating, but it works great for average size wine bottles and sodas. Faster than portable ice chest with 50% ice and 50% water mix. Having said that, it doesn't accommodate large (round, girth) bottles, such as champagne bottles and XL wine bottles (doesn't do girth not length).

Honest reviews on Cooper Cooler HC02.C Tailgater Rapid Beverage Chiller

Recently purchased the Cooper Cooler and am very disappointed in the product. Although it looked attractive and promising coming out of the packaging--it does not perform it's intended purpose, is very noisy, messy, and inefficient.

I can't wait to return it to the company. It definitely is not worth the $94.00 price tag.

My Dad bought this chiller for me as a gift. The first one came and it was not working at all when plugged in the regular outlet, but worked fine when plugged in the car outlet. Since we wanted this for use at home, we called amazon.com and they told us to return this item and they shipped a new unit to us fast. Well, the second unit came and it has the same problem -not working when plugged inside! Yes, we tried different outlets (the ones other appliances work when plugged in), but still the unit is not working. We'll just return it and buy something else.

I don't know much about cookware. Generally I just pick up pots and pans from Ross or Target at the lowest price. In turn, over the years I've grown used to having to open the lid of my pot after cooking something and dumping it into a colander, and heaven help me if I didn't have a clean one available ("I guess I'll just put something on the lip while pouring out the water and...no, no, don't fall out ACK!") After my well-worn pots finally gave up the ghost I decided to take advantage of my Amazon Prime and look outside of basic retail for a solution. And lo and behold, a pot with a colander built into it. Add to Cart? Whyyesthankyou!

After using it for a few weeks now, it has certainly lived up to expectations. The built-in drainer is simple yet brilliant in its design, making cooking more efficient and hey, having one less dish to clean is no water off my back!

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Inch Skillets Review

Customer Ratings:

We own several La Creuset skillets, but this one is the perfect size. The others seem almost laughably large or small. Size is hard to tell online, but this is a nice medium sized skillet.

The only reason I don't give this product five stars is that people should be warned what they are getting. This product is very heavy and requires different cooking habits. Most notably, you never turn the burner above medium heat. High heat makes the food stick to the bottom requiring lots of scrubbing. The other trick to cooking with La Creuset is Bon Ami cleaner. It cleans these skillets with far less work and won't do damage to the enameled surface.

As an alternative to cheap skillets that have toxins built in, there is no substitute for the life-time warranty, and durability of Le Creuset. If you think of it as a once in a lifetime purchase it is actually quite a good deal.

The coating that Le Creuset applies to all of their black surfaced enameled pans sticks to food as it cooks. I mean really bad sticking to the point that the product requires almost full time attention. You are much better off buying a standard cast iron pan and conditioning it with oil the old fashioned way then buying any of these products. You will also save about 85% on your purchase.

Now, i have bought many pieces of Le Creuset Cookware as it tends to be my gift of choice for weddings etc. but when Amazon has its sales on this brand they cant be beat! I bought 8 of these skillets in the past year for prices ranging from $39-49 and have been very pleased. They are not seconds, they come well packaged and are wonderful all-round. Le Creuset has a very well deserved, good reputation. Their cookware is well-made, heavy and has a great warranty. They cook even and if looked after maintain their appearance which in my opinion is good enough for the table at informal dinner parties or family get togethers. Plus they have a wide variety of interesting colors for almost any kitchen preference. I personally stick with Red and Blue as gifts but i have a full set of Dune which i love.

I am a huge fan of Le Creuset, and have been making a gradual switchover to their products for all of my cooking vessels (gradual, because the cost is prohibitive). This was the first skillet / grill item I purchased from them.

First, the skillet is extremely heavy. But, when you're buying case iron you can expect that. The handle does get hot along with the rest of the pan. That is easily solved by purchasing a silicon handle cover (preferred over the cloth covers, which would negate the ability to put the whole thing in the oven). Yes, it's an additional cost for the pan. But honestly, if you're spending $100 on a skillet, what's an additional $10 for a silicon handle cover to get the maximum use?

I currently use the skillet on a gas range, although I used it on an electric range when living at a different apartment. The skillet performed well on both heat sources. There is some discoloration on the bottom of my skillet since moving to the gas range, but most of it is easily removed with some baking soda, a sponge, a little elbow grease. The same technique works for cleaning the interior. About a month after purchasing this skillet, I put some oil on to heat and promptly forgot about it. When I realized my error, I was literally reduced to tears when I found that the oil had burned. I was sure I had just completely ruined my skillet. I scoured the internet for solutions, and there was consistent advice to make a thick paste of baking soda and scrub the skillet. It took multiple scrubbings, but all the evidence left from that embarrassing debacle is a small patch (the size of a nickel) of discoloration. This was after half the interior was reduced to a charred mess.

I've used this skillet to cook eggs, vegetables, veggie burgers, and meats. My husbands preferred method to cook chicken is with this pan (heat oil, place chicken breast in oil and cook until that side is brown and easily lifts from pan, flip, pour in 1/2 cup of water or broth, cover whole thing with a plate, and cook through). I haven't had an issue with sticking. I simply heat the pan on medium-low, and cook away. I've found that the food does cling to the pan initially, but easily gives when brown. This size is perfect for two veggie burgers, or two medium sized chicken breasts. I'm glad I made the switch, and will continue to convert my skillets and grill pans over to Le Creuset based on this skillet's excellent performance.

Round 4 qt. Cocotte with Four Mini Ceramic Cocottes in Basil Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Several months ago I ordered the round Staub 4 qt. pot with 4 mini ceramic cocottes for myself in green, and I use the 4 qt. pot several times a week. I bake bread in it and get an even, luscious crust every time. I use it for stews and soups and pasta sauces. I wash the pot by hand, dry it immediately and put it away to avoid an accident; however, the enamel is thick and even. The textured, black enamel interior is easy to clean, as is the exterior. The bottom heats evenly without spots sticking and scorching. The heavy mass of the pot allows me to turn down the heat and maintain an even cooking temperature on the stovetop. It's a versatile size and shape and I love the color. When I saw what a wonderful quality this pot was, I ordered a set in blue for my daughter, who is delighted with them. I also ordered a larger round pot for my son and a larger oval one for me for roasting chicken and other meats. If you want an easy to clean cast iron pot that you will use over and over and that will retain its enamel finish, then Staub is the one for you.

A bird's beak knife it the absolute best way to peel any vegetable or fruit. And this one is the best one I have used to date. It is uber-sharp, and keeps its sharpness. It is light and easy to grip. The beak shape allows you to slide over the vegetable without digging into the "meat". Removing eyes from potatoes? Easy peasy. Can I say any more great things about this?

Honest reviews on Wusthof Grand Prix II 2-3/4-Inch Peeling Knife

with my henckels cermax they just scream quality so loud you want to fall down and cry yourself to comfort. with this wusthof it's like meh whatever ! the quality of this knife is like a screwdriver you buy from home depot yeah it does the job, but nothing to get excited about.

its comfortable. it does a good job peeling apples. i use it every day. i have no complaints with it regarding functionality.

but bragging rights ? well it IS a cool knife but only because of the cool shape. the quality though is average and that is obvious to the naked eye. i have a 8" chef from the same Grand Prix II line of wusthof and it has the same uninspiring average quality. My henckels twin four star II Chef has double the quality ( in terms of fit and finish ) and also cuts better due to having a thinner blade than the Grand Prix II Chef. but ok this is not a Chef's knife but i was making a point about fit and finish on the whole line did i mention it is average at best? on the Henckels Twin Four Star it is good, but i felt the Twin Four Star II handle shape was wrong for a paring knife.

as for my Henckels Cermax well just wow they are so in your face awesome that i never use them at all. i just know in my heart i am not worthy so i don't touch them. to use a Cermax knife to make dinner is like using a Hasselblad camera as a hammer ( well, maybe not quite hehe ). besides, i don't think that line has a bird's beak paring knife anyway.

but yeah i hope you get my drift here. get this knife if you want to peel some apples. if you want to make a present to that special somebody get a Shun or something. a Shun will cost more, it will probably work the same, and probably end up chipping the blade eventually, but at least it will be eye candy unlike this uninspiring blob of polymer goo with a blade stuck in it LOL

My wife is Asian and we spotted this online. We enjoyed many meals in restaurants over in Asia using these at the table. Unfortunately, in comparison, this item is truly low, low quality. Very thin metal... So thin we kinda worry it will melt or suffer some once heat is applied .

To be fair, we have yet to use this item, but simply from a 'feel' standpoint we feel this is definitely NOT worth the money. Better to go to a specialty shop to see and 'feel' the utility before you buy.

I really like the slightly larger than most containerand it is quieter than my old chopper.

Be careful though when you remove the blade there is a black gasket and white plastic ring that help hold the blade in place. These come off unless you pull the blade up slowly. This is a poor design. These should not come off as they will be very easy to lose--OR what happened to me: they came off in my washing the blade and went down the disposal. I managed to recover them, although damaged, and they seem (so far) to be able to hold the blade in place ok.

You also have to be careful in washing the lid as moisture gets in between the plastic layers and cannot be wiped off.

I bought this processor to puree small batches of vegetables/fruit to sneak into my kids' meals. This processor was the right size/price point for the job.

Unfortunately, its performance is quite underwhelming. Once the majority of the contents is pureed, the remaining large chunks continue to spin around. It seems like the blade is not fast enough. I have experimented with processing time, combination of pulse vs. high speed, adding water, etc. No matter what I do, those chunks of apples or zucchini continue to escape the blade.

Updated May 2012 I wrote the first review in January. After using these pans daily since we received them, I have to say they're still terrific. I know some of the reviews report that the non-stick coating doesn't last, but we haven't had any issues with them. I don't wash the pans. I do wipe them out with a dish towel as soon as I remove food from them, when they're still warm. I keep them seasoned with a small amount of coconut oil. Occasionally, residue builds up on the side of one of the pans. When that happens, I fill the pan with warm water and add an anti-grease dish soap, such as Dawn or Ful-Sol, and let it soak overnight. Then I just rinse it out and dry it with a towel--no scrubbing and no more residue. I season the pan before using it again. I'm very careful not to use metal utensils for cooking; instead, I use silicon, wood, or utentils made specifically for non-stick pans.

--------

January 2012 We've been concerned for some time about toxins from traditional non-stick pans. So we invested in high end French cast iron several years ago. They're expensive and heavy, and not as non-stick as we'd hoped. After reading the reviews, we decided to try the 3-Pan set of Green Earth Pans and are delighted we did. As avid Atkins dieters, we eat a lot of protein, particularly eggs and fish. Both brown nicely in the Green Earth pans, and can be cooked with little to no oil or butter. Clean up is simple--just a wipe with a soft cloth or sponge, which we prefer over paper towels. We've been looking at ceramic pans for a while and were careful about investing. Most brands seemed expensive and unproven. The price point with Green Earth was what we were looking for and the Amazon reviews helped us make the decision to buy. It was a good decision, and one we'd make again.

Bought these pans over six months ago as an affordable replacement for our peeling teflon pans. They have been fantastic the non-stick coating still works and the pans clean up beautifully. Don't know why some people think the non-stick coating wears off so soon. We never put them in the dishwasher. After cooking some foods we notice a "film" that won't wash off. Just use a finger nail to gently remove. Don't spray with oils or non-stick coatings. And you don't need to cook at temperatures as high as you may be used to. We found eggs stuck if we turned the heat up too high. Bought a second set recently for a gift. Love them!

There are not enough negatives in my vocabulary to describe my disappointment with this set of pans. EVERYTHING sticks. I bought them April 2012 and they have never worked properly despite meticulous care. They do cook non stick eggs if you flood the pan with oil and do not allow the food to come in contact with the pans. But what's the point? Food sticks to the waffle like bottom of these pans. I don't know the folks writing positive reviews but question how so many loved these awful pans. I gave one star because they hold food and can be heated. But you may well regret this purchase.

Update: 2-19-1013 I was contacted by the company regarding my review. They offered to replace the pans. I was very surprised. It seems they do monitor the reviews. I wonder if we low raters got part of a bad batch of coatings. If they do in fact replace them and they work, I will have to change my review. I have to give them credit for what appears to be real customer service.

UPDATE #2

Ok In March the new set arrived as promised. I want to make sure the last small pan didn't crash due to pilot error so i read the instructions for the umpteenth time. The instructions say to "precondition" pans prior to first use.

I do a lot of BBQ and grilling and I was pretty sure they didn't meant "season" as I do on the grill grates. i.e. coat with oil and burn it off. . {and No, I do not use the pans on a grill ]

But to make sure what "precondition" meant, I emailed the company. They got back to me within a day, as they have in the past. Again, this is serious customer service.

Turns out, according to Rachel K at Ozeri in California, it is recommended that you lightly coat the pans with cooking oil and store them like that between meals. Not sure how sanitary that is but I will do as recommended.

I now think maybe my expectations were too high for today's eco friendly products. I remember frying eggs with no vegetable oil at all. I thought that was healthy.

ECO is latin for "good for the environment but can't possibly work as well because by law we have to take out the stuff that works best" . Ever use an eco-friendly cleanser? 'Nuff said.

Apparently gone are the days of true non-stick since the materials used in the old pans may cause cancer in California laboratory attorneys and has been outlawed.

But if these pans result in less pollution in some way, i am all for it.

So... I give the company 5 stars for customer service, and this review should be considered minimum three stars for that reason alone.

However since smart folks read the bad reviews first, I will leave it here for now.

I will be back to let you know if i can fry an egg and get most of it out of the pan.

Update, April 2013.

Well these new ones work work with sufficient oil in the pan. I have not tried to fry anything without oil and do not expect to. Go ahead and buy a set. I must have gotten a bad batch before, but no way to prove that.

Fair is fair. This is now a four star rating. Partly because the pans do seem to be fine now, and partly due to the excellent customer service.

That's it. I'm done.

UPDATE 11-13

I now have a rust color inside the tiny waffle pattern over much of one pan. I have babied this pan, never been ion a dishwasher, always hand washed with gentle detergent and warm water. Food sticks and I have no clue what the stuff I am seeing is. For the life of me i don't understand all the positive ratings No way i would buy another set. I give up.

This product had such good reviews that I chose to buy all three pans. I am an optimist at heart so I hate to write a bad review, but these pans just are awful. I purchased them 3 months ago. The first time I used the pans they were wonderful! Nothing stuck to them. But a mere 3 months later and they are the worst pans. One has a chip in it (which could have been user error maybe I used a metal spoon to stir something?) and none of them have retained their non-stick quality. I would not recommend these pans to anyone. (And, unfortunately, they are past the 90 day return policy or I would return them.)

I was looking for a nice lasagna pan, preferably with a lid. I already have some of the other pieces in RR's stoneware collection, have been happy with them, so I went with this one. It's a little smaller than the Rachael Ray Stoneware 9-Inch by 13-Inch Rectangular Lasagna Lover Pan, Red, which I was also considering. But I am usually only cooking for two, plus, I wanted one with a lid, which the larger pan does not have. Still, you can make a decent-sized casserole in this one.

I love the way these pieces look; such a fun look and so much nicer than some boring metal or plain Pyrex pan. The stoneware retains the heat very well. They are also super-easy to clean, and are dishwasher-safe. I use thick welding gloves as oven mitts, and the handles on these pans are big enough so I can get a good grip while wearing those gloves.

Highly recommended.

I really enjoy this product and would recommend it to most anyone. The size is great and can be used for many different dishes from lasagna to casseroles and roasts. The color is great and the overall look is very attractive. This product is very versatile and can go from oven to table and then straight to the fridge for leftovers. I love that! As others have stated this really is a non-stick pan. It is extremely easy to clean as well. I wash mine by hand but it is dishwasher safe as well.

The product is very heavy but I expect that with stoneware. Just be aware that if you are looking for a lighter weight product this is not it.

I also love that the lid fits very snuggly into the main casserole dish. It doesn't slip or slide around and keeps a nice tight fit.

The only thing I would change is the handle on the lid. It is a solid piece and I feel like it will easily slip from my hand if I am not extremely careful. I would much prefer a handle that is open like the side handles on the main pan.

This low cost loaf pan does everything you would expect a loaf pan to do. It's dark color absorbs enough heat to produce desired browning. It also releases cleanly. The protruding lips serve as handles (although if they were a little bigger they'd be easier to grip while wearing oven mitts). All in all, this is an excellent buy for a loaf pan you should buy two since many recipes call for making two loaves.

I have been so satisfied with these pans that I now have five. I use them to bake bread and nothing ever sticks. Just spray the pans and your bread will slid right out. I had used other pans and always had a problem with my bread sticking even after spraying with oil. The large size is just perfect for a nice large loaf of bread. Don't wash them often, just wipe out after using. I have yet to have any rusting problem with any of them even after washing them. You should always place the pans back in your oven for a minute or two after washing to make sure they are nice and dry before storing. That technique has always kept my pans from rusting. I would recommend these pans, so far I have not found anything better for my bread.

I initially purchased the smaller sibling of this rack J.K. Adams PRC-24 Mini Ceiling Oval Pot Rack, Natural but found it a bit too small for my needs. The larger model turned out to be more suited to the quantity of cookware I had accumulated over the years.

The mounting points for this rack are on 11-1/4" by 32" centers. For those of you who will be mounting the rack across your joists, this should make installation fairly straightforward, easy, and quick, assuming your joists are on standard 16" centers. If, like me, you are mounting the rack running with your joists, things get more challenging. And, when you are also mounting the rack over a counter whose relationship with the joists can only be described as "unfortunate", it gets slightly more complicated.

I solved my problem with two 34" long 3.5" wide oak planks, fastened into three joists, using 3" #12 brass wood screws, countersunk into the oak. The three joists were made necessary because of the relationship of the rack to the counter, and the fact that it was important to keep the rack mounting points between joist attachments to prevent the weight on the rack from being out on a "lever" with the last attachment point acting as a fulcrum. Without the need to line up favorably with the counter, a pair of 18" boards, attached at two joists would have been just fine. I mounted the rack offset, 4" from the back of the counter. I chose this offset to keep the pans out of my face when working at the counter, as I need all available workspace in my galley style kitchen.

Working on the ceiling is always a treat. I transferred the exact location of the back edge of my counter to the ceiling by clamping a board along the counter's curved edge, and using it as a reference rail. The actual transfer was done using a Bosch plumb laser Bosch Self-Leveling Laser Plumb Bob (GPL2) . To find the joists I used Zircon 60276 MultiScanner i700 OneStep Wood, Metal, and Live Wire Stud Sensor, however, there were some "mystery boards" in my ceiling that cast some doubt as to whether I was correctly identifying the joists, and I finally had to resort to using a fiber optic camera Ridgid 31123 SeeSnake Micro 9.5mm Inspection Camera to identify what was what. The "mystery boards" run back among some cabinets, and I'm still not sure why they were put there, but at least I was able to properly identify the joists. For placement of the first plank, measurements were made to a nearby wall, and the second plank was placed by measurements to the first, along with the use of the stud-finder and a square. I fabricated a small drilling template from some scrap aluminum I had on hand to insure consistent hole placement across both planks. Other tools used included a Makita circular saw Makita 5008MGA Magnesium 8-1/4-Inch Circular Saw , Skil 3400-12 10-Inch Table Saw Kit with Stand (both equipped with a Freud "fine" blade Freud TF1061 10-Inch 60-Tooth Thin Kerf Fine Cut Blade) and a Milwaukee Drill Milwaukee 2601-22 18-Volt Li-ion Compact Drill Kit . Also used were misc. drill bits, including a #12 countersink; a screwdriver, screwdriver bit, a 24" square, a 36" "story stick", a 36" steel rule, (2) 12" "rapid clamps" and an ancient Porter Cable router.

Once everything had been mounted to the ceiling and I had a good "test fit" trial with the rack in place, I pulled it all back down. I then "dressed up" the oak planks a bit using a router. Finally, I sanded and finished them, using a natural finish Minwax Natural Finish, 1 Qt. Once dry, it all went back up. While not an exact match, by any means, the naturally finished oak blends well with the wood and metal of the rack. The woods I found at my local "big box DIY" which might have been a closer match to the wood in the rack, did not offer the strength of the oak, and I find I like the resulting aesthetic, right down to the accent of the brass screw heads.

Although the particulars of my situation made this into a bigger installation task than I anticipated, that will certainly not be the case for everyone. I do wish J. K. Adams would wise up and offer both an 18" and 34" adapter board set we aren't all going to be mounting across the joists. And please, no matter how tempted you may be to cheat, make the effort (or hire the effort) to be sure this thing is solidly fastened to your joists. Do not let anyone convince you that some gadget will let you use the sheet-rock. That patented miracle-anchor may let you attach a Volkswagen to your sheet-rock wall without a problem, but this is a ceiling, not a wall. Not only do you need to avoid the sickening sound of a hole being torn in your ceiling, and your expensive cookware crashing down on whatever is below, but you also need to consider the real risk of someone being injured. I have no doubt my Le Creuset Dutch Oven could seriously injure, perhaps even kill, when falling from a height. Especially if it squarely struck a small child on the head.

Overall, I would strongly recommend this rack. I have ordered more hooks for mine, and look forward to years of having my cookware properly stored, a nice contrast to the years of cursing and swearing, digging around in dark cabinets while crouched on the floor with a flashlight.

So, enjoy your new rack if you buy one, and Bon Appétit !

This is a great pot rack that I will take with me if I ever move. The combo of metal and wood is done well an adds to the functionality. The wood rails allow for the hooks to slide to the desired spot with no weight on them. This allows for adjustment every time you hang a pot or pan if you wish to keep them from hitting each other. The rack hangs by 8 inch hooks and you can add additional 8 or 4 inch to achieve your desired height. The look is cleaner than a chain. The rack is made to come apart if you wish to refinish or paint the wood to another color. I like the natural lighter wood it came with myself. You won't be disappointed with this rack.

One of the downsides of purchasing things on-line is that it is easy to make a mis-judgement about something you have never seen or handled. Because we have a small, "galley style" kitchen (which I hate!) I asssumed that this would be the right model for our home. However, it was much smaller than I realized, and I am returning it in favor of the larger version of the same rack. (It was so much smaller than I realized, that I never even bothered to open the packaging it was possible to tell from the sealed box that I had made an error. I am sure that this is a nice rack, as I have received and opened the larger model and am pleased with it. But you may have more room than you think, so consider the possibility that the larger model may fit.

When I opened the box, I was surprised to find that this rack comes with two ceiling hooks (I assumed it didn't and picked up a couple at Home Depot firstoops). They are basic eye screw type, 4" long with 1-7/8" long threaded region (must be screwed into wood, according to instructions), 1/4" diameter. Also surprising was that it also came with two 4" extension hooks. If you use all the included hooks, you would get 1-7/8" from the ceiling hooks, 4" from the extensions, and 2-3/8" from the rack hanging hooks, for a total of 8-1/4" between ceiling and top of the rack. Rack is 1.5" tall.

Also included were eight pot hooks, two of which are to be used for hanging the rack from the ceiling. They sit loosely in the rack (the rack is hollow and channeled on the inside, so you feed the hooks inside the rack which weighs down on their bases), so theoretically the rack could slide side-to-side if hooks are mounted at less than 32" apart.

The hooks for hanging pots also sit loosely in the rack (hooks weigh down on rack). So you can easily adjust the spacing between pots and pans (slide them side-to-side; not through the center though as there is a screw there), or add more hooks. The hooks have a square base, so they won't rotate unless you push them up/out, rotate, then sit them back into the rack.

I really like the solid construction and design. Before, I was a bit concerned it would be easy to knock it off the ceiling hooks, but now that I've used it I see that as highly unlikely.
